A couple weeks ago they set up a travelling carnival along the river. I had to ride my bike through there twice a day…I couldn’t help but notice the quality of the people milling about at the travelling carnivals. About the same as in the states…A large collection of otherwise unemployable people. Glad to know that no matter what country I end up in I always have the circus as a fallback…

Part II
so I’m following this U.S. election with my usual aplomb…I love politics as soap opera, but don’t get emotionally involved except when I get pissed/annoyed at stupid people…
anyways…
IMO it would honestly be a huge upset if McCain actually won this year.
…Me always more viewing the big picture is much more interested in the long term repercussions for the US two party system etc.
Can you imagine the disarray of the republicans if McCain loses?
They accidentally nominated the most centrist, decent candidate they possibly realistically could have (jayssssus can you imagine Huckabee as the nominee right now?) and if McCain loses what will those dissatisfied religious voters do in 4 years? They got the centrist-ish candidate they didn’t want and he still lost…they won’t possibly compromise their ‘values’ even more in 4 years. will they backlash and get behind a ‘real’ conservative candidate in 4 years only to lose that election as well (you have to expect the economy will be better in 4 years, and after the democratically controlled house and senate actually pass things that will help middle class voters, those crazy fiscally responsible democrats won’t be so distasteful to the football mom skeptics who aren’t so sure this time)…?
anyways point is…If Obama wins this year he will win re-election…and my best case scenario is that people realize the two party system is crap…the religious wackos will vote their own party, the progressive wackos will vote their own party, and the reasonable dems, pubs will just merge…
anyways ultimate goal…proportional representation…so everyone gets a voice…
then I can complain about people having a voice that are stupid and don’t deserve to have a voice, but that argument can wait for 50 years…
…as I said…politics as soap opera much more interesting then politics as extension of my emotions…
I am embarrassed to say I got one of those anti Obama emails the other day…went to snopes and it turns out to be a lie…
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/afghanistan.asp
in the email it actually said this:
I have no way of confirming the Truth of this e-mail, so I suggest you ask our HOLY SPIRIT if it is true or not as HE WAS THERE
yeah…bad HOLY SPIRIT!!! very bad HOLY SPIRIT!!!
(that was bad I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E….very bad I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.)
If this is considering ‘campaigning’ these days then I just can’t approve of any of it…
Part III
I signed up for an e-music account today…I’m legal now…anyone have music suggestions for me?
I’m incapable of riding home from Bornheim in an orderly fashion…I always end up in some part of the city I’ve never been to or heard of…
